Sanitary regulations and arrangements of Persia in the Persian
Gulf, 1896-1907.
We turn next to the sanitary precautions taken at the ports of
Persia since 1896.
In October 1896 the necessity of action became apparent to the Institution of
Persian Government, and an effort was 4 at first made by them to carry quarantine,
out the necessary arrangements by purely Persian
agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
. After much 1896 -
discussion between the Persian Government and the British Legation in
consultation with the
Residency

at Bushehr, an understanding was
reached which involved the minimum of injury to trade compatible with
adequate protection. For healthy vessels from India quarantine was
fixed at five days from arrival in the ports of Bushehr and Muhammareh
and at seven days in Persian ports nearer to India than Bushehr; and in the
case of plague-infected vessels passengers and cargo^ were not to be landed,
but the mails might be sent ashore without detention of the vessel. ^ The
Persian Government appear to have been conscious of their inability to
carry out the regulations satisfactorily, and almost from the^ first the
management was practically delegated to the British

of despatching Russian doctors to the Gulf ^ study the question of ^
plague prophylaxis, the Persian Government agreed to the deputation from the BrUiah

officers left India on the 9th of February 1897, and on the following
day another Assistant-Surgeon of the Indian establishment was sent
from Bushehr to take sanitary charge of the port of Muliammareh.
The services of the Assistant-Surgeons at Bushehr and Jashk also were
requisitioned for sanitary work at their own stations. In March it was
reported that the Persian Government had sent definite orders to Bushehr
confirming the authority of the British
Residency

to a large extent removed. The Persian gunboat Pempohs at the
same time received orders from the Person Government to crmse at the
mouth of the Gulf and to prevent coasting-vessels g

that the action directed was taken.
